Guest Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don't even want ta' shoot any of the deer around here. I saw a few up back last week, but I have no real desire to shoot them. If I get a chance to head out someplace else, I will. If not I just wanna' cap a coyote. OH, I got another bear up back!!! Holy shit got it on my cam a few days ago. Smaller than the one a year ago, that was a real big yogi. I don't really wanna' cap the bear either. I have deer, bear, turkeys, fox, bobcats, fishers, raccoons, possums, rabbits, owls, red-tailed hawks, squirrels, woodchucks, and God knows what else around here. Years ago I did see a moose up back, haven't seen one in a long time. The only thing I wanna' get is the yote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I had THREE mother-fukkin' coyotes up back on the Stealthcam, but lately I'm only getting ONE on the cam. Can't imagine what happened to those other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya' know people ( myself included ) tend to think that a deer on their property is " THEIR DEER ", when in fact that deer probably covers a square mile area. I just don't have enough around here, so I don't think I'm shootin' any here. If I had like 20 or so, that's one thing, but all I've got is about 5. That's not enough!! A couple could get hit by cars, caught by coyotes, or shot by hunters, and then I'm back down to hardly any!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next door neighbor cleared a few acres last fall and seeded it . Unfortunatly it didn t come in so good. Was hoping they would be out there every day.

Go up to the FARM STORE in Milford, and get some cracked corn, and a combo mixture, and put it out there, and they'll be on your back porch!!!

I agree the herds are not big around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT MXZ XRS Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Haven't been out yet this year and probably won't. Need to get some corn and put it out back. Now that all the leaves, apples and pears are gone, haven't seen anything in a while. State just lifted the baiting/feed ban here so I'll have to go to TSC and get some shelled corn. Saw a couple of nice deer on FB guys I know got. Buddy got a nice buck up in Grand Marais. Big buck for the UP Edited November 16, 2019 by SVT MXZ XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchases of licenses is down in Michigan because Michigan hunters are going elsewhere to hunt. Dumb fucks who have the "it's brown it's down" mentality, have ruined the sport. Michigan needs to have a 4 point or greater on one side to shoot a buck. The "brown it's down" "hunters" will run along as GTFO of the sport and go ruin something else.

Haven't hunters nearly as much in the last 10 years like I use to. See it all the time at deer processing places and on dumbasses trucks. Dumb fucks shoot small little spikes, 4s and 6s. Fucking pathetic. If you just want some meat, shoot a fucking doe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here in PA they adopted a 6 point I think, unless it's a youth hunter at any rate we have some really nice buck here compared to the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
